    Performance cams for 4.0 OHV

    I was thinking about installing one of the two available grinds from Comp Cams in my truck along with some other upgrades. The only thing that keeps me from doing it is the increased valvetrain wear. I know to install the suggested springs and make some minor head port improvements. What I...
